Piquet Hill has been selling rams to the industry for 42 years. Rams are sold throughout the North Island and the top of the South Island to farmers in a wide range of finishing and breeding country.
Piquet Hill guarantees all two-tooth and hogget rams sold, against failure in the first season, and will replace.
The stud is open for inspection, by appointment in September/October. All two-tooth rams are sold privately at Te Akau in December/January and hogget rams in February. Sale is by private treaty and all rams come forward in absolutely natural condition off hill country.
We think of a ram as an investment, not a cost. It is about genetic improvement for the future. At Piquet Hill we are dedicated to supplying to your flock the genes to keep us all in business. We believe the introduction of Finn, Texel, Perendale, Coopworth and terminal crosses give new and exciting opportunities, combined with the stud's high F.E. tolerance and worm testing programme.
If you are interested in securing rams or visiting Piquet Hill, please feel free to make an appointment at any time.
